Darsena sunbathing

The Darsena – harbour – is at the point where the Naviglio Pavese and Naviglio Grande canals meet. It was once an important node for water-borne transport and trade.Furthermore, the Darsena, once connected to the circle of the Navigli, constituted the joining ring with a water circuit, which was for centuries the main channel of supplies, transportation, and commercial traffic in the city.
Today it is the hub of the Navigli neighbourhood, with music locales, restaurants, pubs, traditional osterie, little markets, and antique fairs on weekends.

Una vista ampia, uno scatto molto descrittivo di questi luoghi molto caratteristici che varrebbe la pena di visitare.
Niente da dire sulla composizione, nel senso che sai bene Tu come inquadrare, mi limito a dire che la presenza della ragazza sdraiata, alla ricerca forse di un qualche sollievo al caldo, vivacizza e completa l'inquadratura. Al di lè della bellezza del luogo, sembra che lei stia sognando spiagge e luoghi più consoni per prendere il sole e, magari, fare un bel bagno !
Un saluto speciale

Adele replied to photosofghosts:

Sicuramente stava sognando di non essere a Milano, Fabio, anche se la Darsena è gettonatissima sia dai milanesi che dai molti turisti che stanno scoprendo Milano!
Non è una immagine che mi entusiasmi , forse in bn sarebbe stata più interessante.
Grazie sempre di tutto .
